The Election Protection Organizer will recruit, train, and mobilize clergy, congregants, and community leaders to serve as nonpartisan election-protection volunteers. This includes coordinating poll monitoring, voter education, and rapid response to voter suppression or barriers at the polls.

Ensure all activities comply with 501(c)(3) guidelines (strictly nonpartisan)

Coordinate with MOSES leadership to align with broader civic engagement strategy
Collaborate with statewide partners (e.g., voter protection coalitions, legal networks, community organizations)
Represent MOSES in election protection tables and strategy spaces
Help align MOSES’ congregation-centered model with broader democracy efforts
